Google Chrome
I am generally an early adopter of new technologies and gadgets and today was no exception. I first heard of Chrome via the blog sphere a couple of months ago and was intrigued by it immediately.

Microsoft Sidewinder mouse

I decided to roll the dice and give the Sidewinder a try, even though I was leaning towards a new Logitech MX Revolution.

Stupid Mistakes
There is nothing worse than making stupid mistake because you are tired or for whatever reason. Yesterday I made one hell of a stupid mistake. I work for a little company called SMBLive, the company is based in Virginia but I work remotely from Arizona. It is an ideal arrangement, much better than my previous arrangement that caused me to drive 84 miles daily. The project I am currently working on is based on one of our current product platforms and I am trying to set-up a local development environment.
